Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一个由微软与英国皇家园艺学会合作的项目,这个项目旨在通过AI技术实现“智能花园”,帮助园丁更好地照顾植物。
1.B 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their plants would just tell them what they need. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be realized in the real world.”(在这种时候,一些沮丧的园丁可能希望他们的植物会直接告诉他们需要什么。英国一个与微软合作的新项目正试图看看这个概念是否能在现实世界中实现。)可知,作者提到沮丧的园丁是为了引出AI在园艺中的潜在应用。故选B。
2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like ‘I need a bit more water’ or ‘I could use a haircut’ depending on data captured in the soil.”(游客可以向AI驱动的花园提问。然后,该模型可以根据在土壤中捕获的数据用类似“我需要更多的水”或“我需要修剪”这样的短语来回答。)可知,游客可以与AI驱动的花园进行交流。故选D。
3.C 段落大意题。根据文章第三段“When the garden is completed, it will rely on a network of sensors throughout the garden, measuring environmental factors like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model housed in a room at the back of the garden.”(当花园建成后,它将依赖于整个花园的传感器网络,测量环境因素,如土壤水分和营养水平以及风和预计降雨量。所有这些数据然后都被发送到一个专门设计的AI模型,该模型安装在花园后面的一个房间内。)可知,这段话主要介绍了这个智能花园的工作过程。故选C。
4.A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“‘I am excited to see how AI can assist gardeners to help make a meaningful impact that will help us all garden and grow more sustainably,’ Massey said in a recent interview.”(Massey在最近的一次采访中说,“我很高兴看到AI如何能够帮助园丁产生有意义的影响,这将帮助我们所有人以更可持续的方式从事园艺和种植。”)可知,Tom Massey对这个项目持积极态度。故选A。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了网络模因(meme)的定义、发展、影响以及它在青少年生活中的积极作用。
1.C 由上文“The rise in popularity of the Internet in the late 20th and 21st centuries has given rise to memes! According to Merriam-Webster, a meme is something interesting, such as a captioned(加文字说明的) picture or video, which spreads widely online.”可知,上文提到了模因,并解释了模因是什么。由下文“It was born in 2012 and yet is as alive as ever.”可知,下文说明了一个具体的模因持久流行,故本空介绍一个具体的模因。C选项“Take Grumpy Cat, a well-known meme, for example.”(以著名的模因Grumpy Cat为例。)能承上启下,符合题意。故选C。
2.B 由上文“ has been documenting the spread of memes ever since it was founded in 2008.”可知,一直在记录模因的传播,故本空应介绍该网站的记录成果。B选项“So far it has recorded over 18,000 memes.”(到目前为止,该网站已收录了18 000多个模因。)具体说明了记录的模因的数量,能承接上文,符合题意。故选B。
3.E 由上文“Memes usually have a very popular picture with a space for words. People can easily make their own meme by putting different words in that space to express their feelings.”可知,上文介绍了模因的制作方式和作用,故本空应进一步说明模因的作用。E选项“That leads to the feeling of being part of something bigger.”(这种参与感会让人产生融入更大群体的共鸣。)能承接上文,符合题意。故选E。
4.G 由下文“The humour of many memes is related to teens and topics that have a lot to do with their lives.”可知,下文主要讲述的是模因与青少年的关系,故本空应强调模因和青少年的关系。G选项“For teenagers, memes are a way to connect peers with a shared sense of humour.”(对青少年来说,模因是一种让同龄人通过共同的幽默感联系在一起的方式。)能引出下文,符合题意。故选G。
5.F 由上文“According to the American Psychological Association, it does much good to teens to find something fun to laugh about, especially when they are under great stress.”可知,上文提到了模因有利于缓解青少年承受的巨大压力,故本空应强调模因对于处于困难之中的青少年的帮助。F选项“Many agree that memes do help them laugh through hard situations.”(许多人同意模因确实帮助他们在困难的情况下开怀大笑。)进一步说明了模因对处于困难之中的青少年的好处,能承接上文,符合题意。故选F。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了26岁的Bao Yawei今年借助了人工智能应用程序来简化她的假期旅行计划,感受到了人工智能带来的便利性。文章表明了将人工智能技术应用于未来的旅游服务是一种趋势。

3.attractions 考查名词。此处用名词作of的宾语,attraction表示“景点”时,为可数名词,由some可知,应用复数。故填attractions。
4.which 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰主句,空处在从句中作介词after的宾语,应用关系代词which。故填which。
5.Despite 考查介词。空处应用介词,后接名词imperfections作宾语;despite为介词,表示“尽管”,符合句意。句首字母大写。故填Despite。
6.established 考查过去分词。空处应用非谓语动词作定语修饰company,二者之间为被动关系,应用过去分词。故填established。
7.covering 考查现在分词。此处是“with+宾语+宾补”结构,宾语services与cover之间为主动关系,用现在分词作宾补。故填covering。

Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, only to find your carefully cared-for plants and herbs dying Was the soil too dry Did pests find their way in During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their plants would just tell them what they need. A new Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be realized in the real world.
Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Apart from the pleasant chat with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways AI could be used to improve sustainability (可持续性) and conservation efforts moving forward.
When the garden is completed, it will rely on a network of sensors throughout the garden, measuring environmental factors like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model housed in a room at the back of the garden. The model, powered by Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI Service, can then analyse those factors and inform gardeners of feeding, watering and trimming (修剪).
Tom Massey, one of the garden’s two designers, described the project as a “unique opportunity”. “I am excited to see how AI can assist gardeners to help make a meaningful impact that will help us all garden and grow more sustainably,” Massey said in a recent interview.

Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard
garden, only to find your carefully cared-for plants and herbs
dying Was the soil too dry Did pests find their way in
During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish
their plants would just tell them what they need. A new
Microsoft-partnered project in the UK is trying to see if that
concept can be realized in the real world.

Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will
show off an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to
monitor the garden's environment and inform gardeners when it
needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions.
The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit
more water” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data
captured in the soil. Apart from the pleasant chat with plants,
the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of
the many ways AI could be used to improve sustainability
(可持续性) and conservation efforts moving forward.

When the garden is completed, it will rely on a network of
sensors throughout the garden, measuring environmental factors
like soil moisture and nutrient levels as well as wind and
projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially
designed AI model housed in a room at the back of the
garden. The model, powered by Microsoft's Azure OpenAI
Service, can then analyse those factors and inform gardeners of
feeding, watering and trimming (修剪).

Tom Massey, one of the garden's two designers, described
the project as a “unique opportunity”. “I am excited to see how
AI can assist gardeners to help make a meaningful impact that
will help us all garden and grow more sustainably,” Massey said
in a recent interview.
